Review on The Friendly Swede Adult Swim Goggles - 2-Pack, Unisex Pool Goggles, Swimming Eyewear for Men and Women by Clinton Youmans

It's been a while since I've swam competitively, but I recently started swimming again for exercise. I looked for the highest rated goggles that resembled the ones I used to compete with and picked up two pairs of Friendly Swede Swim Goggles. So far, I've swam in them a few times and they've been just as good as, if not better than the ones I used to compete with. I haven't had too much time with them just yet, so I'll update my review down the road, but I doubt I'll have any issues with these. Anyways, I'll try to go over each part of the goggles with my experiences so far.First and foremost, the Friendly Swede(s). I'm starting with the best point with the hopes that if you stop reading this review, that at least you'll get this. I received an e-mail from the seller asking me to leave a review of the goggles, and normally I don't e-mail back, but this time I did to ask a few questions about caring for the goggles. Jessie responded quickly and in a very friendly fashion - she was extremely nice, very honest, and really helpful. When I asked, she even told me the story behind their name! I haven't had any issues with the goggles so far, but I'm sure that if I did, I would have my problems taken care of very quickly.Second, the price: I bought two pairs for around $25 USD with tax - that would get me one pair of goggles anywhere else I tried to buy them. My old goggles cost $25 for one pair and didn't even fit as comfortably as these, so this purchase didn't really require any thought.Third, and most importantly, the quality: The goggles both appear to be higher quality than my old goggles (even when they were new) and fit better and more comfortably. I'll break it down by part:Lenses: The lenses are clear with a wide field of view so that you can see where you're going - I think they might have been a bit wider than my other goggles. They might not give you as great of a view as snorkling goggles, but I sure hope you're not snorkling with these. They're very slightly tinted (effectively none) so I wouldn't use them as outdoor swimming goggles for training during the summer, but they're great for indoor pools. I haven't tested their scratch resistance, and I hope that I never do, but they appear to be standard hard plastic, so I wouldn't go about mashing them into concrete just yet. As for anti-fog, they were absolutely great - I swam (multiple times) for over an hour in 84°F water and the goggles were barely fogged by the end of my workout. I had even let water into the goggles and yet I could see clearly. I will update my review when the anti-fog wears off - hopefully that won't be soon.Eyepieces: The eyepieces that cup around the eyes were very comfortable. I prefer mine tight, and after switching out the nosepiece to a slightly shorter one, the goggles fit perfectly around my eyes. I always had uncomfortable raccoon eyes after swimming, but these were very comfortable and required very little adjusting after putting them on the first time. While I may have still had marks around my eyes after taking them off, they wore off quickly and didn't irritate me at all.Strap: I noticed this a bit later when adjusting them, but the goggle straps are actually designed pretty intelligently. Whereas my competition goggles had a thin flat strap all the way through the goggles, these straps were cylindrical towards the middle and flat on the back of the head - therefore, they were easy to adjust and rethread without twisting, and also remained comfortable when I put them on. It was also very easy to adjust the length and tightness of the goggles, and the material appears to be strong.Basically, the Friendly Swede's customer service, price, and quality cannot be beat right now, unless someone gives me their goggles for free. Even then, I might prefer these goggles a little bit more.
